There is belief within AEW that CM Punk will rebuild his relationship with the company, even if he never wrestles there again, per Fightful Select. Sources said “never say never” when asked if Punk has burned his bridge with AEW.
Punk last worked for AEW in 2023. He departed following the All Out backstage incident and was officially released in September of that year. He returned to WWE in November 2023.
